I'm not sure how you have a top 100 bass player's list without mentioning the most recorded bass player in history Abraham Laboriel. Also glad to see Stanley Clarke and Victor Wooten listed, although I think they deserve to be listed higher. I disagree with the person who says that McCartney plays just the one. In my opinion McCartney, while not the most naturally blessed player on the list, is responsible for some of the most creative bass lines in rock history.

I'm the one who nominated McCARTNEY a year and a half ago on page 1 of this thread. I choose this silly song to illustrate because I have always loved the bass line:
